Anderson Cooper, a big fish in the world of TV, a multi-award-winning journalist and primary anchor on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, obviously has some serious interviewing chops.

In July 2007, it was a Shark Week much like this one, except it had special significance for Stormy Daniels. In an interview with Anderson Cooper, she said when she arrived at Donald Trump's room at the Beverly Hills Hotel, she found him in the vice grip of the television. “He made me sit and watch an entire documentary about shark attacks.” The kicker? Trump says he's "not a fan" of the finned predators. ASSOCIATED PRESS

Attorney Michael Avenatti is a shark in the water when it comes to Daniels' lawsuit to invalidate the non-disclosure agreement signed in 2016 regarding her alleged affair with Donald Trump. Since the lawsuit was filed, he's released documents showing records of large payments from various corporations into a bank account Michael Cohen used to pay off Daniels. Lawyers for Cohen argued the records referenced a different man by the same name. After the release, the US Treasury opened an investigation as to how Avenatti got access to the records.

In 2016 Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's then-attorney, made $130,000 in "hush-money" payments to Stormy Daniels as a part of a non-disclosure agreement about her alleged affair with Trump. After a raid, the FBI uncovered tapes which reportedly contained recordings of his discussion with Trump about paying off former Playboy model Karen McDougal. If the one recorded conversation doesn't seem fishy enough, the FBI is in possession of other recorded conversations by Cohen, according to reports. Seth Wenig, AP

It was 2009 in Louisiana when Stormy Daniels was prepared to wrestle a 'shark,' and his name was Sen. David Vitter. Daniels dipped her toes into the Senate race in her native Louisiana as a Republican but ultimately decided not to run. What would have been her campaign slogan? "Screwing people honestly," she told reporters at the time, according to reports. BILL HABER, AP

It wasn't quite "Jaws," but Daniels swam with the big fish in Hollywood during her roles in "40-Year-Old Virgin" (2005) where she played a porn star, and "Knocked Up" (2007) as "Lap Dancer #1." Both are Seth Rogan films. According to reports, Rogan says he knew about Daniels' history with Donald Trump at the time of filming. Bang Showbiz

What do Stormy Daniels and great white sharks have in common? More than you might think.

First, there is the porn star's up-close-and-personal encounter where she was "made" to watch a Shark Week documentary Donald Trump had sunken his teeth into when she arrived for a business meeting with him in 2007. The subject? Shark attacks.

At that point it wasn't a business meeting anymore, but she did learn something. "He is obsessed with sharks. Terrified of sharks," Daniels said in an interview with Anderson Cooper.

However Daniels didn't let on if the show about shark attacks fazed her; she is used to swimming with the big fish, after all. From politicians, to high-profile entertainers and a school of lawyers, the porn actress swam with sharks of all walks of life long before Shaq was talked into it for Shark Week.

Those "sharks" counted among the herd from one time or another is the shadowy figure Daniels alleges made some fishy threats over her alleged affair with Donald Trump, and former Sen. David Vitter, her would-be opponent had she committed to run for office in Louisiana a decade ago (the people were on board — she ultimately didn't bite).
